Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

224 A new plan is born.

The new ranking of the star section was a shock to everyone because they thought only onc between Atlas and Theo could get in. Others even thought neither of them could enter. However, since the rank one was leaving the school, one of them would surely get in.

Shortly after, the news that Finn deliberately scored low on the final exam was because he didn't want to be in the star section anymore. With this, everyone believed Theo got in by luck or mercy. Theo's score was, after all, very far from the ninth place.

As for Penny, she didn't care about all of this at all.

Instead, she focused on rearranging her thoughts. Which explained why she locked herself in her room as soon as she came home.

"This is not okay," she told herself, shaking her head. "I thought I've been living carelessly, but I'm living more carelessly than I thought."

Penny took out a notebook from her drawer and started penning everything she could

remember from her previous life.

She wouldn't probably think of this if the incident involving Grace hadn't happened. But now that this happened to Atlas, Penny was quick to recall everything. Even the memories she had to bury so they wouldn't hurt her, she had to remember all of them.

Her discovery today alarmed her.

Grace's story didn't match the truth that she discovered. According to Grace, her mother left her in the hands of a monster. Because of this, her twisted life spiraled out of control, eventually involving her in the crime world.

In truth, Grace's mother didn't leave. What happened to Grace's mother was horrible, and Penny knew no one would ever find out about the truth in her previous lifetime.. Although it wasn't as gruesome as this, Atlas's situation was the same.

In her previous life, Atlas got into the star section out of the blue. He didn't challenge the star section. Hence, the news of him getting into the star section was a shock to everyone. But if Penny missed the detail of the rank 1 leaving, then no wonder Atlas got into the star section.

there's a challenge this time, this gave everyone the idea that there might be a change in the star section. As a result, Finn, the rank 10th, who seemed to have a sadistic side, came into play," she murmured. "But if someone like him was in the star section
